How to Choose a Men's Lap Swimming Suit

There are a surprising number of choices to make when it comes to purchasing a men's lap swimming suit. Designs and features to consider include the length of the suit, the style, the fabric, and more. Choosing the right suit makes a difference in training and therefore in the race. This guide explains the benefits of different suit designs and materials.

Suit Cuts & Styles

Men's lap swimming suits range in coverage from minimal to full. Depending on style, comfort, and intended use — such as racing vs. practice — some styles will better meet your needs than others.

Briefs, racers, and "Speedos™": These minimalist suits allow full range of motion for all strokes and have decreased drag. Briefs are the traditional lap swimming suit for men and are worn for practice and racing. Take note that while briefs and races are sometimes colloquially called "Speedos™," Speedo is a brand that makes a full run of swimsuit styles.

Jammers: A longer version of briefs, these suits hit mid-thigh down to just above the knee. If worn very tightly they can restrict movement during breaststroke or treading water (but only minimally). They provide more coverage than traditional suits. They are worn for practice and racing.

Drag suits: Baggy mesh briefs that create drag in the water. Their purposefully-loose fit creates resistance and acts as a training aid. Lined ones can be worn alone, or over briefs. Drag suits are worn only during practice.

Square leg: Square leg suits are only slightly longer than briefs, and tend to be more fashion-forward. Square leg suits are typically worn during practice, but can also be used for racing.

Swimsuit Fabric & Durability

Some suit fabrics are designed to withstand hours of exposure to sunlight and chlorine, while others are meant to stay lightweight and water-repellent during a race. This guide explains how different fabrics act in the water.

Suits made of LYCRA™ or spandex have more stretch and are more forgiving, but tend to fade and grow loose quickly.

Suits made of 100% polyester are more chlorine resistant and long-lasting.

Polyester blends combine the durability of polyester and the stretch of LYCRA™ or spandex.

Suits with a high UV rating are more sun resistant, and are more useful for outdoor swimmers.

Fully-lined suits do not wear through as quickly and prevent fabric transparency.

Other Considerations

It's important to remember how the suit is going to be used. Little details such as waistbands and styles that can be used for two purposes (such as practice and racing) make a big difference. Some things to keep in mind:

Lap swimmers who constantly push off walls or practice dive starts should look for suits with a drawstring waist.

Swimmers who want a more modest suit should opt for jammers or consider layering a drag suit over a regular brief.

Swimmers looking for a suit that can be worn for practice and competition should buy tight-fitting briefs or jammers.

A well-fitting swimsuit can make a big difference in your time in the pool. Whether it means no longer worrying your suit staying on when pushing off walls or just enjoying a fresh new color, the right suit may be all the motivation you need to step it up in the water.
